44Multiple ZonesChapter Four: Setting Up Multiple ZonesChapter Four: Setting Up Multiple ZonesThe KRF-X7775D offers dual-zone output and control, whichenables you to use a single receiver to control devices andspeakers for two zones (rooms). Due to its advanced fea-tures and controls, you can play music in one zone whilewatching a movie in the other!Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up oneof the following “sound scenarios” to make full use of theReceiver’s capabilities:No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use theReceiver’s Speaker B output for Zone B. This allows you tolisten to full surround sound in Zone A only, or in stereo inZone A when Zone B is active. The sound in Zone B willalways be in stereo.Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You can use an additionalstereo amplifier for Zone B (connected to the Receiver’s ZoneB Preouts). This allows you to listen to full surround soundin Zone A even if you are also listening in Zone B. The soundin Zone B will always be in stereo.Multiple zones require you to run wires and cabling fromthe primary zone (Zone A) where your Receiver is installedto another zone (Zone B) where an IR Receiver (for U.K.and U.S. military), a second set of speakers, and possibly asecond TV/Monitor is installed:ZONE A(Main System)ZONE BTVIRRECEIVERThis chapter discusses some of the connection con-figurations and additional Remote Control unit setupnecessary if you want to take full advantage of theReceiver’s multiple-zone capabilities. It contains the fol-lowing sections:Making Connections page␣ 45Connecting the External Infrared Receiversand IR Repeaters page␣ 46For U.K. only:To control the receiver from Zone B an optional IR receiveris required (see "Connecting the External Infrared Receiv-ers and IR Repeaters" on page 46).If you plan on using the KRF-X7775D in a Dual-Zone ap-plication, you must use the composite video connectionsin addition to any S-Video connections. Only video sourcesconnected with composite connectors can be viewed in thesecond zone (Zone B).You must use the analog audio cable connections. (Digitalinputs are not sent to Zone B.)
